On the system of Japanese retaurants, Izakaya
I heard foreigner have often confused when they go to Izakaya, which is Japanese style restaurants that provide alcohol and dishes. This is due to Otoshi, that is a Japanese-specific system. Otoshi is a small dish that is provided from a restaurant, nevertheless, you do not order. The restaurant charge the dish. People who do not know Otoshi system will confuse and say, "What is this?", "I do not order that". However, once you know the Otoshi system, you may get think you get a better deal. Especially you come from a country that has the custom to pay a tip. Otoshi can be interpreted as a tip system in Japan. Usually, you just pay a tip for their services, so you do not get any return from your tip, but in Otoshi, you can get a small dish in exchange for a tip. However, if Otoshi is not your favorites, you do not appreciate the system. I think Otoshi represents the quality of the restaurants: If I feel the Otoshi is not good, I will finish earlier and go to the next restaurant.

「tip」は動詞も名詞だから、「tipping system」と「tipping」は自然な言い方です。例えば、「Do I need to pay a tip?」も「Do I need to tip?」は日常会話の表現です。
